I guess that it is possible that Deep fritz does not see it thanks to better
king safety evaluation.

I am not sure if Qh2 is the best move and it is possible that white has king
safety problems after a move like Re6.

After 32...Qh2 33.Bxa6 Qh1+ 34.Ke2 Re8+ 35.Be3 Rxe3+ 36.Kd2 Qxg2 37.Qf1 Qxf1
38.Bxf1 black has no queen so it has no king attack.

I think that white blundered later.
